We’re supposed to go biking at the East Coast Park in the afternoon with Mark’s cousin and his wife, Cindy. But plan got canceled, and so we ended up in Dutch Colony coffee place.
Then decided to go home after.
We got down at Tampines MRT station because it has a bus interchange station, which means there would be a lot of people, which would mean there would be a lot of food choices.
It’s easy to differentiate the Indian food.

We were seated a bit near to a Muslim family. That’s when I noticed how important for the girls to really cover their hair because the brothers kept teasing the girl, while she tried to fix her burqa so as to hide all her hair.
And, home-bound.

That mundane daily life of the people living in the places I visited has always been something I wanted to experience but it’s just that hard to capture them in a short time you stay in it. I really wanted to feel how it is to be there behind all the department of tourism marketing, and instagram drool-worthy photos.

The Old 3rd Wave and New 3rd Wave Coffee Culture Side-by-Side: Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee
Beside is the more hip, where you can get those single origins and house blends coffee beans.
No-frills. Their customers here are also the old people buying beans in boxes, and loading them to their vans.
While the new coffee shop was manned by young gens. They’re probably the children of the older gens. And comes with it are all those hip interiors and accessories, and latte arts. 🙂

We had coffee and brunch at this place owned by a syphon barista champion, Stranger’s Reunion. Cindy and I talked a lot that I forgot to pay attention to my coffee that seriously all I could say, which is probably unfair, that I could not tell much difference from what is served at Micky’s Cafe here in Cebu. Among the manual brewing, I think Syphon is on top of my list (but still if done right. #chos).

[SG Day 1] Itinerary: Live Like a Local
Being not a local, I honestly cannot tell which nasi lemak or laksa or chicken rice is better or not so I’d just pick any stall that looks convenient to me. So thing is I might just go to a NOT popular hawker center, where I can leisurely be clueless.
I did not find 2nd hand books but Mark scored a cheap suitcase luggage.
Thankfully, we got thru the day all just about find-ing, and not buying. @.@
